On Tuesday 22^nd June 2010, the Phuket Punchline Comedy Club proudly presents Arj Barker, one of the stars of the hit HBO comedy series, ‘Flight of the Conchords’. Arj is already a household name in Australia where he regularly packs them in at Theatres from Perth to Sydney. In March he smashed attendance records with his sell-out run at the 2010 Melbourne Comedy Festival and he recently taped a one hour stand-up special for Comedy Central entitled ‘LYAO’. Arj is a very hot ticket and with good reason - he is a very funny comedian.

Joining Arj on stage are Irishman, Caimh McDonnell, and musical comedian, Rob Deering, both of whom have a wealth of comedy experience behind them. A truly fantastic bill displaying three very different styles of stand-up comedy, all of which superb.

Arj Barker is a household name in Australia, 'Dave' in the hit HBO comedy 'Flight of the Conchords', and a record breaking sell-out stand-up comedian. He has been a well-respected name on the international comedy scene for well over a decade now, bringing award-winning shows to such highly regarded festivals as Edinburgh Fringe, Montreal Comedy Festival, Aspen HBO Comedy Festival and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Whatever reason you go see him, prepare to have a great time. Not to be missed! WATCH TV CLIPS HERE

‘This year’s Festival has been blessed with a smattering of stand-out international comedians and Arj Barker from San Francisco is one. Barker is an intelligent, droll comic with a dark turn of thought and a fantastic, disturbing stage persona. There is a richness to Barker’s work and a maturity and gift for extrapolation which set him apart.’ - The Age, Melbourne

‘Genius.’ - Beat Magazine, Melbourne

‘CRIMINALLY TALENTED’ - The Glasgow Herald

Genial white-haired Irishman Caimh (pronounced 'Queeve') McDonnell has quickly established himself as one of the most amiable and friendly acts on the UK comedy circuit. Caimh is a regular headliner at most major UK venues, and his gentle yet incisive humour makes any audience feel involved whilst playing with their expectations - sucking them in with his chatty, playful stage presence before metaphorically slapping them in the face with an unexpected punchline. He has performed stand-up all over the world, including two shows at the world famous Edinburgh Festival.

Over the years award-winning guitar-playing comedian Rob Deering has cemented his reputation as one of the country’s finest stand ups by taking six solo shows to the Edinburgh Festival, headlining all the major comedy clubs throughout Britain, and taking part in Paramount Comedy's ‘Edinburgh and Beyond’ live show as well as his own ‘Charmageddon’ tour.

In 2008 Rob began hosting the monthly stand up and music night ‘Comedy Congregation’ with headliners including Russell Howard and Stewart Lee. Rob also hosts a monthly comedy music panel game ‘Beat This’ at London’s Leicester Square Theatre and is a regular at ‘Frank Skinner’s Credit Crunch Cabaret’.

‘As sharp and versatile as a Swiss Army knife, Rob Deering is one of the best performers currently on the circuit.’ - The Independent

‘Uses music to brilliantly accessorise his swipes at the innate gormlessness of contemporary culture.’ - The Guardian
